Scale number will move only when good & ready
Got a huge shock this morning when I weighed myself. I'm into the 50's range, weighing 59.2 kgs now. I cant believe it. The lastest kilo that I lost took 6 months to lose. In the past 6 months I've lost a lot in centimetres and have had to keep buying smaller clothes sizes. People can see how thin I have been getting and…

At Goal weight, No fireworks!?!
Hi Everyone, Could use some reassurance here. Started my journey Jan 2020 at 145.8 lbs. Set an arbitrary goal to get to 110 lbs. No idea why that number. Probably because I'm, 5'.1". At 44yrs old it felt pretty far fetched. Fast forward to Sept 2020, met my goal and beyond at 109.2 lbs. Went from size 10 to size 2, Large…

Living with negative comments...
I have people making jokes about my weight loss and fitness, telling me I’ll blow away in a light breeze, and am too skinny, etc. Very annoying, especially when I’m not even talking about my fitness journey much to anyone. Guess it’s something i have to live with. Anyhow, I’m proud of my accomplishments. Down 35lbs and BF…

Down 30lb
I am so chuffed with my weighing today, to discover I have lost 30lb in total so far dropping from a starting weight of 479 to 449 in 5 weeks. I don't feel any different but at my size I guess it will take time for any real notable NSV, but just to know that 30lb off is a benefit to my health is a plus. I am currently…

Proud Owner of a New Outlook on Health
Just wanting to share my success story - In 2016, I spent a lot of time living in the extreme end of things and worked to lose 40 pounds. After my wedding in 2018, I fell off track (hard) and gained nearly 50 pounds. I didn't even realize how bad it got - when I stepped on the scale this past June, it read 20 pounds MORE…

Girlpower
Decided to educate myself on how to use our new bowflex. Mind you I started this endeavor at 9pm after a super long day at my very physical job. My body said "dont you dare get up!" My mind said "shut up we're doing this!" And you know what? I had fun! Didn't think that was going to happen...

Regaining weight, struggling to motivate for round 2.
(ETA: i didn't realize i was posting in "Success Stories"... and now I can't figure out how to delete it. Sorry!) I started MFP in 2010 at approx 182 lbs (I'm 5'4). In four months I got down to 155. A few more months, I was 145. A year later I was down to 123. I decided at that point to start lifting weight, and slowly…

Personal Growth
This summer I started back with MFP and I have stuck with daily logging for far longer than I have in the past. I feel like I have changed my lifestyle this time. I also took an excel class at the local community college to sharpen myself professionally (just 2 credit hours, all on-line of course). Last night I realized I…

60 Pounds Down (272 to 212 at 5’5”) – 8 Years Ago I ran my First Half Marathon
I love MFP friends, so feel free to add me and we can support each other in the day-to-day! The last time I was at this weight was 8 years ago. I was 32 years old and was picking up my tracker, number, and jersey for my first half-marathon. As I lined up at the starting line on race day, I was amazed at how surreal this…

365 Days of Calorie Counting-35 pounds lost
The other day when I logged in to MyFitnessPal, I saw the 365 day streak and almost screamed. I never thought I would get this far, but I’m here. I always would tell myself that I’ll start every Monday and I would make excuses for not exercising or binge eating. Eventually, I woke up one day after scrolling through the…

Had an amazing day yesterday-- thanks, MFP community
The week before last, after losing about 2 pounds per week since late August, I was disappointed to find that I'd only lost about half a pound. But instead of letting it discourage me, I vowed to make up for it the following week. I militantly stuck to my allotted calories, but I wasn't able to work out as much as I…

Hello there o:) I directly wanna start with telling you 'why i started to lose weight'. I was 15-16 years old (a few years ago) and walking in a park with my best friend. Then my best friend saw someone that she knows and we started to talk with that uncle for a few minutes and said we're walking and talking to spend time.…

A Constant Work In Progress
I come from a family that has always had a battle with being overweight. I’ve also lost family members at a “too young” age due to heart disease. My mom was diabetic. So basically, unless I made a change, dying young was something that was destined to happen to me. It wasn’t until my brother, someone from MY generation,…
